Complete Guide to Website Screenshots
Free Online Website Screenshot Tool
Our screenshot tool captures a live image of any publicly accessible website. Enter a URL, select your preferred viewport size, and get a high-quality PNG screenshot in seconds. No browser extensions, no downloads, no sign-up â just enter a URL and capture.
How It Works
When you submit a URL, our tool sends a request to a screenshot service that loads the website in a headless browser (a browser without a visible window). The browser renders the page just like a regular browser would â including JavaScript, CSS, images, and fonts â then captures the visible viewport as a PNG image.
How to Use This Tool
- Enter URL: Type or paste any website address. You can enter just the domain (example.com) or a full URL (https://example.com/page).
- Select Viewport: Choose desktop (1280px), tablet (768px), or mobile (375px) to simulate different screen sizes.
- Capture: Click the capture button and wait a few seconds for the screenshot to be generated.
- Preview & Download: View the screenshot in the preview area, then download as a PNG or open the full-size image.
- Compare: Capture multiple screenshots to compare different pages, viewports, or websites. All captures are saved in your session history.

Limitations
Login-protected pages: Pages behind authentication (login walls) cannot be captured as the screenshot service cannot sign in.
JavaScript-heavy SPAs: Some single-page applications may not fully render in the time allowed. Most modern frameworks are supported.
Firewall-blocked sites: Websites behind corporate firewalls, VPNs, or restricted access may not be reachable.
CAPTCHA/bot protection: Some websites detect automated browsers and may show a CAPTCHA or block the request.
âšī¸ How It Works
Screenshots are generated using a headless browser service. The URL you enter is sent to the screenshot API to render the page. The resulting image is displayed in your browser and can be downloaded. We do not store or log the URLs you enter or the screenshots generated.
